558 The Ohio Naturalist. [Vol. XV, No. 8, 



replanted on the campus this spring. The motion was carried. 

 Professors Osbom, Prosser, and Durrant were appointed on the 

 first committee and Mr. Shadle, Prof. Lazenby, and Mr. Forest 

 Brown on the latter one. 



The program for the evening consisted of two very interesting 

 papers: "The Phylogenetic Relationship of Man and Lower 

 Animals," by Mr. Rollo C. Baker; "The Psychological Relation- 

 ship of Man and Lower Animals," by Prof. Weiss. Mr. Baker 

 compared the Paleontological, embryological, physiological, and 

 structural development between man and Anthropoid apes. 

 Prof. Weiss compared the actions of lower animals with man. 

 The speech reaction gives man the power to reproduce things of 

 the past and to consider the future, while other animals can 

 adjust themselves only to the present. The speech reaction can 

 be converted into writing and thus man has the traditions and 

 experience of past generations to guide his actions. 



After a discussion of the papers, the Club adjourned. 



Carl J. Drake, Secretary.
